The Fear Hunter game
Finding the treasure requires using the right map (asking the right questions) –
identifying and challenging obstacles in the path.
FAILING
TOO MUCH
RESPONSIBILITY
NETWORKING
PLAN THE
ATTACK
option 1.
Go to a networking party and talk to at
least 5 people
(take 2 steps forward)
option 2.
Walk up to 10 strangers in the street
and start a conversation(take 3 steps forward)
option 3.
Become a waitress on the weekend
(take 6 steps forward)
option 4.
Skip turn and go back to START.
1. pick a FEAR card
2. flip card and choose ONE course of action
3b. reflection phase - Did you learn anything? for each YES example, take 1 step forward. NO = 1 step back
4. repeat steps 1-3 as you travel across the board into Fearless Land (where fears are merely written about
in history books and trains run on their fossil fuels)
3a. reflection phase - How did you feel before? after?
